Heavy Camp Hawk

mcswood · Jul 15, 2009

This is the 1st. " hawk " I've done. The head (and full tang through the handle) is 1095 steel. The bolster and but sides are mild steel welded to the tang. The scale are curly maple epoxied and screwed in place.
It's 20" O.A. and the head is 8" from point to edge. The cutting edge is 2.5".
It weighes 3.5 lbs.
I have it listed on ebay. If it does well I may do more.
Thanks for looking,
Mike

I don't think I'd consider it a tomahawk, but that is an outstanding battleaxe!

wouldn`t the mild steel promote rust?

Cool looking, The mild steel wont rust any faster than the 1095...

I like it! What's your auction number? Never mind - I found it... 230357430566

It was hard to find though. Consider listing it under tomahawk tomahawks to get more exposure.

Louis - I love your website and your work is magnificent!
